He has been featured in advertisements for Pepsi, Adidas, and modeled underwear for Giorgio Armani, but the sportsman and father of four told People he has never thought of himself as "an attractive, sexy person."
"I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way," he said.
Beckham's wife, Victoria, 41, was supportive of his new title, he said.
"I would hope that she feels this way about me all the time anyway," he told People.
